This repository captures my journey as a young non-programmer building an open-source Civic Education App for Kenya. Aimed at bridging knowledge gaps and empowering citizens, the app makes civic education accessible. I invite developers and donors to collaborate and bring this vision to life. # Civic Education Kenya App A comprehensive platform for civic education and legislative tracking in Kenya. ## Setup 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone github.com cd civic-education-app ``` 2. Install dependencies: ```bash # Install root dependencies npm install # Install frontend dependencies cd frontend npm install # Install backend dependencies cd ../backend npm install ``` 3. Set up environment variables: ```bash # Create .env file in the root directory touch .env # Add environment variables to .env file echo "DATABASE_URL=your_database_url" >> .env echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key" >> .env ``` 4. Run the development server: ```bash npm run dev # or yarn dev # or pnpm dev # or bun dev ``` Open localhost with your browser to see the result. You can start editing the page by modifying `app/page.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file. This project uses `next/font` to automatically optimize and load Geist, a new font family for Vercel. ## Learn More To learn more about Next.js, take a look at the following resources: - Next.js Documentation - learn about Next.js features and API. - Learn Next.js - an interactive Next.js tutorial.
